Coconut Oil-Infused Beauty Hits
In a tropical country like the Philippines, we sometimes forget that we
have a treasure that people all around the world search for. This treasure
is the coconut which we see everywhere even in the cities and more
abundantly in the provinces. Coconut oil as a lot of tropical beach girls
have known has amazing properties in hydrating our skin and hair, which
also gives that bronze look when applied in tanning during the hot summer
months of May.
Now I may be writing this all the way from France but my heart beats with
the summer heat at the moment in the Philippines where bikini clad ladies
are out there on the beach splashing their respective tanning creams and
lotions. It is a surprise that the coconut oil is not that popular when it
comes to usage for the majority of Filipina beauties as some may deem it
cheap or very crude, but when you got a good product with the right mixture
of coconut oil and essences, then you have a HIT.
Here are the top hits infused with coconut oils that we have found in the
market that will be making rounds soon for Summer 2016 in Europe. We have
included other products here that are currently available also in the
Philippines for all ladies there to try out while its still hot.
1.Dessert Essence ’s Coconut Shampoo
Born in 1978 from the inspiration of nature, Desert Essence is an organic
beauty line that uses bio ingredients in their product range.When we
say organic, it must contain at least 70 % of organic ingredients and the
Coconut Shampoo from Dessert Essence clearly has that in their labels.
Retailing for 15 Euros (800 Php) for a 237 ml.tube, it is well worth its
price with its magical properties of making your hair smooth and
tangle-free with that awesome smell of coconuts lingering all day.

3. Yes to Coconut Face Hand and Cleansing Wipes
Yes, we are tired of the same citrus and ocean scents in our cleansing
wipes. Yes, we have had it with having to use wipes and end up having dry
skin after. Yes it is always the same brand of wipes that we see on the
pharmacy and beauty stores. We need to say Yes to Coconut. Removing make-up
with this new brand of cleansing wipes has never been better, with it’s
lovely scent of coconuts lingering, as if you just had yourself a mix of
coconut juice mixed with milk (yum) and lots of ice. They are easy,
efficient and effective to us and they do not dry your skin. Retails at a
lovely price of 4 Euros (200 Php)
4. The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder Coco Balm
Moisturize ladies, and don’t forget your lips as well as this is what we
always forget to take care of, thinking that lipstick can cover any chapped
lips anyway. Before putting on that Chanel Rouge lipstick, it is advisable
to put on a lip balm first, to avoid having dry lips and to have that
maximum long lasting effect for the lipstick. Coconut oil is known for its
moisturizing benefits and this lightweight coco balm from Estée Lauder will
nourish dry lips while providing a burst of color, excellent during day
time under the sun. They retail at 20 Euros (1,000 Php)
Go coco or be loco :) Have fun under the sun ladies!
